Bitcoin does not artificially limit the total number of keys. Transactions with up to 3 keys are considered "standard" by bitcoind, meaning they will be propagated and mined by default. But non-standard 5-of-8 transactions are also valid. If someone relays them and mines them, they will be valid for every node. In practical terms, non-standard transactions mean longer confirmation time, that's it.
- nullc 13y agoIt's a bit more complicated than "longer confirmation times" since normal nodes will not relay them. Realistically, production use of non-standard transactions is unwise, but we'll make anything standard that people have a usecaes for and tests for. ... though in this case, you'd really want to use a script like I described instead of inefficiently using multiple keys per player.
